GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Five
Palestinians including a photographer were injured after a demonstration
was fired upon by Israeli forces east of Gaza City on Friday.

Dozens
of Palestinians had marched toward the border between the Gaza Strip
and Israel east of Gaza City in solidarity with Jerusalem after Israel
repeatedly limited Palestinian access to Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque over
the past weeks. The call for the march was reportedly issued by a group
called "The Intifada Youth Coalition."

The group's march led to clashes with Israeli forces near Nahal Oz military camp.

An
Israeli military spokeswoman told Ma'an that "approximately 300
Palestinians" attended the demonstration but were "dispersed" by Israeli
forces after they gathered close to the border fence.

The five
Palestinians were injured due to high levels of tear-gas inhalation
after Israeli forces launched tear-gas canisters at the march. The
injured were taken to Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

The al-Aqsa
Mosque sits atop a site considered holy for Muslims as well as Jews. It
is in East Jerusalem, part of the internationally recognized Palestinian
territories, but has been under Israeli occupation since 1967.

Gaza - A
number of Israeli tanks and bulldozers crossed on Thursday morning the
Khan Younis eastern borders in the southern Gaza Strip in a limited way.

Local
media reported that several bulldozers came out of the Abu Rida gate
east of the town of Khuza'a and pushed into the agricultural lands of
citizens, moving along the border.

Witnesses said the Israeli occupation forces are razing near Erez (Beit Hanoun) crossing in the northern Gaza Strip.

Israeli
warplanes including F16s, Apache helicopters, and drones have been
frequently flying the Gaza skies for the past few days.

This
comes in the context of tightened Israeli, Egyptian border restrictions
with the Egyptian military reported to have destroyed more than 90% of
the tunnels along the border with Gaza, citing security concerns.

The
campaign against tunnels put the Gaza Strip at a tipping crisis point
as the entry of fuel, building materials, food stuffs among others used
to come from Egypt has not been possible.

About this blog

This is a blog about Gaza farmers, workers and all the civilian population living in Gaza Strip rural communities along the Green Line, suffering from daily Israeli attacks and resisting the implementation of a so called "buffer zone" by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Note: this blog is focusing on Israeli attacks on civilians inside or around the so called "buffer zone". Attacks on resistance fighters, or attacks, usually airstrikes on civilians further inside the Gaza Strip, or along the Egypt border (apart from the eastern areas such as Al Shoka or the airport area) are usually not mentioned.
